Hi fellow campers, new to the 5th wheel realm and double towing. We own a motorcycle dresser that weighs approximately 900 lbs and really desire to put it behind our 5th wheel and take with us. Done a lot of searching from units costing over 3 grand to a homemade carrier. We have a Coachmen Catalina 25 ft and already know we need to beef the rear bumper area to tow or carry. Money is an object. We found a used swivel wheel carrier about 5 months ago for $700 but still weren't sure which way we were going to camp at the time. Now wished I had bought it. What advice can you give me or do you know where I can find a used carrier or how to mount a class 3 hitch to pull my motorcyle trailer. Since a small camper, probably wouldn't handle the weight to carry on back. I am also concerned not being able to keep an eye on a trailer. Happy trails. 8)
